[Instrumental Intro]


[Verse 1]

They say the end's near, but I'll approach it with no fear

When the smoke clears, I'll find my spirit is still here

May take years to find if the prophets are real

Too much damage to inhabit the planet, that's severe

I talk shit you heartless paupers can't feel

With concepts the smartest robber can't steal

Your fears will cause all ya'll to pour tears

'Cause the bomb that I'm droppin' is landin', so stand clear


[Pre-Chorus]

Are there any clears here in the theatre tonight?

We'll get 'em up against the wall and stick 'em with dynamite

'Cause there's somethin' goin' on in my head that ain't right

But I'm gettin' ready to take flight, so hang tight


[Chorus]

It don't matter if you're standin' tall

If you're thinkin' small, we all rise and fall

Don't gotta try to abide by the law

No one alive is survivin' the holocaust

And it don't matter if you're standin' tall

If you're thinkin' small, we all rise and fall

Don't gotta try to abide by the law

No one alive is survivin' the holocaust


[Verse 2]

Fuck partyin' like it's 1999

Ain't watchin' the ball fall, ain't calculatin' time

Watchin' polar caps melt and the coastline rise

See the ocean divide and nine planets align


[Verse 3]

Sun shinin' too bright, ignitin' the Alpines

With petrified eyes we're watching at ringside

Can't run, you can't hide, panickin' worldwide

When straight out the sky falls great balls of fire


[Pre-Chorus]

I'll sneak on the spot where the shuttle is launched

Strap me and a broad onto a rocket and blast off

We'll be followin' the way of the Force like Star Wars

And I'll start a new fam' when I land on Mars 'cause


[Chorus]

It don't matter if you're standin' tall

If you're thinkin' small, we all rise and fall

Don't gotta try to abide by the law

No one alive is survivin' the holocaust

And it don't matter if you're standin' tall

If you're thinkin' small, we all rise and fall

Don't gotta try to abide by the law

No one alive is survivin' the holocaust


[Verse 4]

(You ma-ma-ma-maniac)

(You-you-you-you blew it all)

(Ma-ma-ma-maniac)

(You bl-bl-blew it all)

(Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-maniac)

(You bl-bl-bl-blew it all)


[Bridge]

Now when the end comes, and your time here is done

Will you look back and say "Overall, it was all fun"?

Well, life's been good to me so far, like Joe Walsh

But it won't break my heart when it all falls apart 'cause


[Chorus]

It don't matter if you're standin' tall

If you're thinkin' small, we all rise and fall

Don't gotta try to abide by the law

No one alive is survivin' the holocaust

And it don't matter if you're standin' tall

If you're thinkin' small, we all rise and fall

Don't gotta try to abide by the law

No one alive is survivin' the holocaust


[Outro]

And it, it don't matter if you're standin' tall

If you're thinkin' small, we all rise and fall

Don't gotta try to abide by the law

No one alive is survivin' the holocaust

And it don't matter if you're standin' tall

If you're thinkin' small, we all rise and fall

Don't gotta try to abide by the law

No one alive is survivin' the holocaust
